:-D Today I printed some scans of offical sails, so i'll start experimenting with the sails either tonight or tommarow (depending on if I can get to a fabric store) ;-) I just want to get TONS of holes in it like the movie, but I'm not sure the point of sils with holes, it kinda defeats the purpose, don't ya think? :-D

Is your Black Pearl just a computer design or did you actually build it?

I Don't have the Info wrong!Wikipedia did! And Where did you get this info?

But then where does the gun deck gun's go into play?

Sorry about not seeing BP Sir... Can I just call you sir?

I have a model of the Black Pearl on my shelf, and for the Intercepter, on a vacation, I was looking for pirate books or refences, and there upcame a PotC visual dictionary. I didn't check it out from the library, but i looked at the Norrington page, and lo and behold, there was a picture of the Intercpter, with the caption "The Intercepter is a 18 gun brig, with guns on 2 decks." I'm preuming that the're counting the f'o'castle and qaurter deck as 1 deck as a single deck because the're at the same level. So I counted the cannons aside, then muliplied by 2, then I had confirmed the books description.

As for how gundecks come into play, that seems simple. Two ships run along side each other, or start shooting from a long distance, most of the ships have most or all of their guns on a gundeck. All clear now?

Just returned from a 3 or so year dark age, so just getting back into the swing of things. :)
